Sound recording of teamster Bert Vestnys and ironworker Walter Vestnys (father and son). To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Labor Archives received a grant from the California Council for the Humanities to conduct interviews with nine bridge workers, two wives of bridge workers, and two nurses who cared for workers hurt on the job. Bert Vestnys and Walter Vestnys discuss their experiences working on the Golden Gate Bridge.
